Mission Statement

The primary mission of the Glenda Project is to provide the capability to rapidly gather previously inaccessible localized microclimate data from altitudes ranging from ground level to over 100,000 feet and to return this data for immediate use. The Glenda Project is mix of adaptable ground stations combined with a reusable sounding rocket delivery system, and rapidly deployable weather balloons which are designed to place instrument packages into areas previously considered to be too hazardous or inaccessible using traditional platforms such as aircraft, helicopters, kites, etc.

The Glenda Project continues to develop an extensive outreach program to the public. We feel that it is important to educate and address changes in our weather environment and to do so with a hands on approach.
